The Border Service is the little cousin of Starfleet, often looked down upon and underappreciated, despite the crucial work they do ensuring the safety and security of the Federation frontier.

The Albacore-Class U.S.S. Silverfin, under the command of Captain Susanna Leijten, is part of the Third Cutter Squadron operating out of Star Station Freedom. Assigned to the patrol and monitor the Talarian border, they have to deal with the sabre-rattling of the Republic, pirates and smugglers trying to run contraband, and whatever other mysteries and dangers come their way.

Events predominately take place in 2378 onwards, unless otherwise stated.

March 2375 - As the Dominion War sees some of its darkest days for the Federation Alliance, the Border Service Cutter U.S.S. Silverfin must track down a possible Maquis distress call deep in the Badlands.

Summary: In February 2377, after twenty years of uneasy peace following the Border Wars, the Talarian Republic launched a new offensive campaign against the Federation. Utilising superior weaponry, they caught the Border Service and Starfleet off guard. Over the eleven day conflict, as Starfleet mustered its forces, the Talarians gained ground before being beaten back to their previous territory, in an incident that would become known as the Talarian Incursion.Chapters: 9 Table of ContentsCategories:Expanded UniversesCharacters: NoneGenre: Action/Adventure, Drama, TragedyWarnings: Adult Situations, Character Death, ViolenceSeries:Border Cutter SilverfinCompleted: Yes Word count: 19018 Read Count: 1807
